I have a book with the title, "The Bible As History," and it is the most comprehensive book I've read on the subject. (I'd list the author, but this book, like almost all the rest of the books I own, is packed, in anticipation of my move to AR.)

Nothing that is found that has to do with Biblical history surprises me. Probably mostly because I believe the Bible to be mostly true, considering the various translations and revisions it's gone through over the centuries.

Thanks, SC!

I looked it up on eBay, and saw a book with that title was written by Werner Keller

“Nothing that is found that has to do with Biblical history surprises me.”

I remember an article written after the Soviet Union fell about one of Russia’s top scientists taking the opportunity to finally study the bible. When asked why he would do such a thing he replied that the communists banned it for a reason and he wanted to know the reason. When asked if he thought the bible held any truth his reply was that he could find nothing in science to deny the words of the bible and he found much in the bible that bolstered science. I can’t remember his name, that was a while back. Incidentally the scientist had met underground Christians and had been baptized and attended services at the drop of a hat.

In another instance Mikhail Kalashnikov, designer of the AK-47 and it’s variants, became a Christian after the Soviet Union fell. He worried that he would be judged by God because his rifle had been used to do so much evil. It took the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church to calm his fears. He had designed a weapon to defend his country, what was done with it in other lands was on the heads of the politicians who sold the rifles. Kalashnikov died six months later.
